• Bell Cut-Off – north of railroad bridge to Highway 43 & south end at FM-1998

We apologize for any inconvenience during the temporary roadway closure on South Grove Street next week and during the future overlays on the 14 other street segments and suggest that the traveling public consider alternate routes. The overlay projects on the other streets listed herein as part in the 2013 Street Improvement Program will only result in minor delays and closing of the immediate street segment during the actual overlay process.
